the Megacoporations control things, Billy Idol was correct in 1993 when he stated that on his Cyberpunk CD. Here is a Blog on it:

Maybe it can get you a chuckle, deSitter, if you read it. Here is the intro text:


The future has imploded into the present. With no nuclear war, the new battlefields are people's minds and souls. Megacorporations are the new government. The computer generated info-domains are the new frontiers. Though there is better living through science and chemistry, we are all becoming cyborgs.

The computer is the new "cool tool," and though we say "all information should be free," it is not. Information is power and currency in the virtual world we inhabit, so mistrust authority.

Cyberpunks are the true rebels. Cyberculture is coming in under the radar of ordinary society. An unholy alliance of the tech world, and the world of organized dissent.

Welcome to the cybercorporation.

Cyberpunks.
